What temperature for duck breast in air fryer?

400°F (204°C) for the first 10 minutes to render fat and crisp the skin, then reduce to 375°F (190°C) for the remaining cook time. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) for fully cooked, or 135–140°F (57–60°C) for medium-rare if you prefer.

How long to cook duck breast in air fryer?

18–22 minutes total depending on thickness. Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern before cooking. Start skin-side up for the first 10 minutes at 400°F (204°C), then flip and finish at 375°F (190°C). Rest 5 minutes before slicing to retain juices.

How do I get crispy duck skin in air fryer?

Score the fat cap deeply (every ½ inch) without cutting the meat, then pat completely dry. Air fry skin-side up at 400°F (204°C) for 10 minutes — the fat renders and the skin crisps. Do NOT add oil; duck has enough fat on its own. The scored pattern also helps fat drain away faster.

Conseils

Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern (1/4 inch deep, 1/2 inch apart) without cutting into the meat — this is the single most important step for rendering duck's thick fat layer.
Start skin-side down for the first 10 minutes; the fat renders into the basket and the skin begins to crisp before flipping.
Duck breast is best served at 165°F (74°C) internal temperature — use an instant-read thermometer and pull it at exactly that temperature.
Pat the skin completely dry before cooking — surface moisture is the enemy of crispy duck skin.
Rest the duck breast for 5 minutes after cooking; the juices redistribute and the interior temperature evens out.

Erreurs Courantes

Not scoring the skin — unscored duck skin stays rubbery because the thick fat layer cannot render out quickly enough.
Cooking skin-side up the entire time — starting skin-down allows fat to render directly into the basket rather than pooling on top of the meat.
Cooking past 165°F (74°C) internal temperature — duck breast dries out quickly beyond that point.
Not drying the skin before cooking; surface moisture steams the skin instead of allowing it to crisp.
Skipping the rest period — cutting into duck breast immediately causes all the juices to run out onto the cutting board.
